Question

select the correct answer. the image shows street lights powered by solar panels. which sequence shows the energy transformations taking place in these lights? a. gravitational potential energy - vibrational energy - chemical potential energy b. radiant energy - chemical potential energy - motion energy c. radiant energy - electric energy - radiant energy d. sound energy - chemical potential energy - radiant energy e. gravitational potential energy - motion energy - radiant energy

Explanation:

Step1: Identify energy source

Solar panels use sunlight which is radiant energy.

Step2: Energy conversion by solar - panels

Solar panels convert radiant energy into electric energy.

Step3: Energy conversion by street - lights

Street - lights convert electric energy back into radiant energy (light).

Answer:

C. radiant energy → electric energy → radiant energy
